I'm attempting to use a lucene index in a neo4j 2.0.1 database to do a fuzzy query for particular terms in the name property of nodes. When executing these queries, although the lucene syntax looks OK, it fails with a mysterious NullPointerException. It could be that I've made some straightforward mistake in the lucene syntax, but how can I discover what that is?
String query = "start n=node:node_auto_index({searchCriteria}) "+
"match (n:Provenance) " +
"return n " +
"order by n.created desc " +
"limit 10";
String expr = term;
if(term.contains(" ") || term.contains("\t"))
expr = "\"" + term + "\"";
expr = "'name:" + expr + "~'";
log.info("search expression=" + expr);
Map<String,Object>params = new HashMap();
params.put("searchCriteria", expr);
When this method is run with an argument of "track", the output is this:
INFO: search expression='name:track~'
java.lang.NullPointerException
